    HELP: buddy's sticky residue on vinyl... goo gone?

    Hey howdy hello! Question for you. I've been searching around for answers. Got a buddy who basically sent this to me, wanted your thoughts: "...ever used goo gone on a record to try to remove sticky residue? Made a huge mistake 🥲 and set one down, unknowingly, on the sticky, resealable portion...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    Well... The AT VM series cart that was cheaper in a shootout video... appeared to have both more bass response & more clarity than MP-200... & found one for $320 (vs Nag cart's $550)... Guys like Mike at The In Groove on YT with expensive kits talk about bass retrieval being what makes or breaks...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    My thoughts exactly. To be honest, the Red was an upgrade from stock, but also has been driving me a little crazy because even after re-aligning, continues to blur the line between me having poorly pressed vinyl or just too budget-y of gear. & I'll keep the 2M Red on a headshell in the...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    That makes sense about choosing cart, too. It makes me wonder... can I do it... eek out a bit more from my TT since I buffed up a lot of the other gear. My goal is to (eliminate as much sibilance as possible, duh) maximize my records' accuracies. Was blown away with MP-200 so much. Heard a...

    Clamp 'n' Mat?

    That sounds super convenient & slick, too. I have been diving into the world of soundproofing last year because I was fascinated with how the room affects everything we hear (confession I listen through HPs 90% of the time). Then I saw a studio engineer use it on Andrew Masters channel &...

    Clamp 'n' Mat?

    Super good... Question about isolation.... What I've done so far is my TT on default rubber feet, on 1/2" mdf, on a 2-cube shelf, on 2 concrete blocks (I blacked everything out with India ink, spraypaint, and sealant for funzoes). I am above a garage unfortunately not grounded. But is there...

    Clamp 'n' Mat?

    1) Why do you clamp before you spin? 2) Why does your mat mat-ter (sorry)? The answers I've seen to these are very confusing. & I love dissecting audio, looking at graphs, & even the sometimes-substantive yet emotional "just-tell-me-what-you-hear". Most importantly, I can see your answers...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    Hey thanks! About alignment, everything was setup using the Baerwald alignment print out online & got it nailed perfectly on the 2 spots. Is there perhaps a better alignment to try? About cart, I almost bought the 2M Blue, but held off thinking my next upgrade would be even better than the...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    Hey thanks for reply & that's interesting – it does look like my cart is hitting the record on the way around the warp, so I know that directly affects. Bought in used market & gonna first try the flat fixes recommended here & hope it's not pressing defect (given it's one of the best sounding 33...

    2 issues: general sibilance and dished/warped record

    I'm a freelance audio engineer but just got into vinyl in 2020. My goal is to pinpoint the issue, and find the most effective solution, whether it's just a simple tune-up I'm neglecting, or, to create a shopping list with what I need to buy. (& yes, I am very ready to spend if you can figure out...
